Yes, of course. Check our class schedule and make sure that the class you would like to attend is for beginners. Talk to the instructor before the class and explain that it’s your first class. Pattabhi Jois used to repeat: “Anyone can practice. Young man can practice. Old man can practice. Very old man can practice. Man who is sick, he can practice. Man who doesn’t have strength can practice. Except lazy people; lazy people can’t practice yoga.”

If you had injuries, fractures or other medical issues that needs to be taken into account during the practice, the first thing you should do – is to consult your doctor who will give you directions as to what exercises should be avoided. Unfortunately, nowadays some doctors often have a prejudiced attitude towards the yoga practice. Therefore, we recommend consulting with several specialists, preferably those who do not have a biased attitude towards yoga.

Also, do inform your yoga instructor about your health issues before starting the class. The instructor will adapt the practice to address your specific case.

There are no strict rules to the clothes for practicing yoga. The preference is given to the light, comfortable clothes (you may check our shop for suitable yoga clothes). Remember: neither clothes, nor theoretical knowledge make you a yogi – only the regular practice.

one should refrain from the practice on the days of new and full moons. It is considered that the body is sensitive to the changes in the moon cycle: on the day of new moon the body is more stiff, while on the day of full moon it is, on the contrary, too agitated. Therefore, it is recommended not to add an extra stress to the body on those days.

ladies’ days: ladies should refrain from the practice in the first 3-4 days of their periods. On those days the female body receives enough stress anyway, so it’s better not to create any extra stress. Some ladies say that the periods pass comfortably and there is no need to stop the practice on those days, but we strongly recommend to refrain from practice during periods.
